I decided to give paper embroidery a go and stitch up a page in my journal before leaving on a trip to...New York!! I was extra careful and didn't rip a bit of the page on my first try. With the help of a little Sunday morning cup of coffee I drew my design with pencil, evenly poked holes for the stitches all the way around, and just started to embroider! I love how it turned out. I can't wait to add a few more embroidered pages to my journal. I love the texture it adds to the page. It is such a fun memory too.
I'm up early and ready to board my plane! I will see you soon New York!
Lovely photos - and what a nice idea for a scrapbook! x
